    I must go and have a bath... for some reason I'm finding it difficult to drag myself away this evening!

    Might even clear out my bedside drawer sometime this week ;)

    Hmm what about me? I live in Valliland so I must be sane.

    I find out tomorrow :D if we're getting a HUGE thing of a caravan. http://www.caravanselecta.co.uk/Advert/Display-Touring-Caravan-For-Sale.aspx?id=21531 same as that, pictures a bit dark. Basics of it are bunks won't last our 2 much longer, DP wants a fixed bed but I don't want to loose seating space so we're going for a 6 berth.

    Looks great :) We did think about a fixed bed in ours before we bought but decided against it on the grounds that the kids would probably end up in the fixed bed and we'd still have to make up the double for us! Last year I left the bunks up all the time we were away, could not be faffed putting them up and down all the time. When it was the 4 of us it was a lot easier to put up and down between 2 of us.

  • It is this weekend that DH and his parents are doing up our kitchen, so I will be working through my own list this week. I'm out all day tomorrow, as it would have been my Granny's birthday. She died in April last year, so we are going to distract my Grandad with a (hopefuly) grinning baby :) But by Friday morning I need to:

    s&s bathroom

    finish sorting out clothes
    take suitcase down to garage.
    clear armchair
    get DH or Dad to help move armchair into bedroom
    move beanbag into bedroom

    clear coffee table, and move into other corner of living room (where arm chair was!)
    clear back table
    move microwave and toaster to back table
    tidy any other clutter from floor in living room

    clear hallway and sweep floor
    buy airtight boxes
    tidy any clutter in spare room so there is space to put boxes of kitchen stuff when we have filled them up
    defrost freezer

    plus dailys. I'm going to be a busy bee! Then MIL and SIL will be here Friday morning to help pack everything up from kitchen cupboards, take the old cupboards apart and to the tip (if we can) and give it all a good clean ready to have the new kitchen fitted in :)

    Have just seen about the Southampton meet... we're away that weekend, so you will all have to stay imaginary internet people for a while longer ;)
